New ‘Disney After Hours’ Dates Now Available for Magic Kingdom Park

Ugh - I could not hate this more. Remember when you could go to MK on a Saturday night and stay until 1 or 2 AM for free? Not anymore - pay $119 for the privilege. As I've said, I don't mind hard ticket events that don't affect take away park time, but this is just terrible. Especially now it looks like they are leaking over into MNSSHP season, so now you have 4 nights a week for Halloween parties, and a fifth night devoted to late-night ticketed event. Soon - forget ever staying at MK past 10 PM without paying through the nose.

COMPLETELY AGREE!! Saturday, 7/28, is our last night at WDW. With the exception of HS closing at 10:30, can't believe that MK is the next latest closing park (on a SATURDAY, no less!) at 10pm. Was really hoping the hours would be extended! DLR rarely closes before midnight on a weekend, even during the "slow" season!!

Appreciate all of your feedback to my rant haha, you all make great points that I cannot disagree with at all.

Only $89 for AP and DVC

I agree with you though.

Any chance you can meet me there with 4 tickets?

This guy doing the interviews for the GMA segment was brutal, kept interrupting the presenters every other sentence.

THANK YOU! I didn't want to be the one saying it first. He was a terrible interviewer. It's like they grabbed a random Youtuber and asked them to do it.

My guess would be the two Star Wars attractions and the new Mickey Minnie Runaway Railroad Ride will be Tier 1 and everything else will be tier 2

Going to be a nice problem to have as this park will have some really good tier 2 rides.

Avengers 4 could be a 3 hour film according to reports.

I would welcome that. Just make it 4 hours and throw in an old timey intermission.

honestly, the pacing of Infinity War was so good it really didn't feel like it was *that* long so hopefully they can maintain that for Avengers 4

Someone at work complained about how long it was and I was like what?? It's not long. When they told me the length I was honestly shocked, and I've seen it twice.

It felt regular length to me.

Exactly. My first time I was thinking I wanted it to be longer. I am seeing it again tonight.

Coco has passed $800 million at the global box office!

Just saw this movie via Redbox. It was very enjoyable loved the other Pixar/Disney inclusions! Subtle but noticeable when paying attention.

I did not realize the following that the wall had.

Yep, I received a lot of emails about it so I added to my thread:

We will continue to have more and more of these and we'll see less and less EMH. They seem extremely popular (despite the cost), since they are more limited than EMH.

This seems to be the Spring/Summer answer to the Fall/Winter parties ... I sure don't blame Disney for doing it. The demand is there.

I'd probably do it once in a lifetime, like a special anniversary trip with the wife or something -- so it is appealing.

New ‘Disney After Hours’ Dates Now Available for Magic Kingdom Park

So, I’m a little late to comment, but I am disappointed to see so many summer Saturday nights on the schedule. Why not limit it to week no guts? I thought this was a great idea for the chillier off months; my son and I even went this year. But it stinks for the summertime visitors who would likely get the extended hours without these events. Given this news, I’m willing to bet they decide to sell more tickets, too. Sadly, for us, unlike previous years, the park didn’t “feel” empty and we did have to wait in lines, albeit short ones.

My guess is the number of tickets sold will ultimately creep up until it’s like a party night. Compared to the summer crowds, the limited number of tickets may seem great, but I think the charm and the “magic” of it will quickly be lost.

The quality of their t-shirts has gotten so bad. If you hold them up to the light, you can see right through them.
